  • Title: 5-(Alkylsulfonyl)salicylanilides as potential dental antiplaque agents.
    Author: Clark MT, Coburn RA, Evans RT, Genco RJ.
    Journal: J Med Chem; 1986 Jan; 29(1):25-9. PubMed ID: 3941411.
    Abstract:
    A series of 22 5-(alkylsulfonyl)salicylanilides was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial and antiplaque activity against Actinomyces viscosus and Streptococcus mutans, adherent microorganisms implicated in periodontal disease and dental caries. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 25 salicylanilides (including 5-acyl-, 5-alkyl-, and 5-(alkylsulfonyl)-4'-bromo- and -4'-(trifluoromethyl)salicylanilides) were found to correlate (r = 0.94) with estimated log D values. Several salicylanilides, such as 5-(decylsulfonyl)- and 5-(dodecylsulfonyl)-4'-(trifluoromethyl)salicylanilides (15 and 19) were found to exhibit high levels of in vitro antibacterial and antiplaque activity against A. viscosus and S. mutans.
